Background notes
Archive material and source history
Pucho Lopez formed his Latin Soul Brothers in New York City in 1976. The band's sound mixed salsa with soul and funk, a blend that caught attention on their self-titled debut album that same year. Songs like 'La Banda' became popular, though their approach wasn't always welcomed by traditional salsa listeners.
Their lineup included musicians like conga player Orlando 'Eje' Rodriguez and tenor saxophonist Mario Rivera. They released several albums through the early 1980s, including 'Puro Fuego' in 1978 and 'Poder' in 1980. Their version of 'Yesterday' showed how they could reshape familiar material into their own rhythmic style.
The group's lyrics sometimes touched on social and political themes, which added another layer to their music beyond the dance floor. While they faced criticism from some quarters for straying from orthodox salsa, they developed a following for their particular hybrid of sounds.
